So I was intending on posting about my battery life (which I'll have to save after I sort this out), but during the process of me taking screenshots I encountered a much more serious problem. I went to take a screenshot, the root permission screen came up, I accepted, and then the phone rebooted on its own. When it booted back up, over 30 different apps force closed immediately. I had read about people having force close issues and read to fix permissions. I did that, but that didn't help. So it seems that I'm stuck right now being forced to reflash the rom unless I am missing something. No program will open and I can't even get to my home screen. Is this the whole journaling thing I have been hearing about? Thank you for the help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You need to wipe data, and yes this is the data corruption from an improper shut-off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
Did this rebooted and im still getting the force close's should i try it again
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, wipe data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
once or 3x
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Really doesn't matter ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
My question was overlooked so if its okay Ill repost it so it may be answered. Thanks in advance
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
This is typical of LauncherPro, there's not much you can do about it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Sorry, didn't see it before :o Yes, this is a touchwiz bug. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
Oopsies. ;)

This ROM is doing rather well now that I'm journaled. Still not sure on battery life, but compared to my past non-journaled experience it's beautiful.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SSaxman:
Wakelocks are virtually non-existant. If I look at sensor usage, though, Gallery is killing it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well, glad you like it! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
But that is normal, gallery uses the sensor. This is probably NOT causing bad battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
Thanks. I guess Ill try and train my obsessive compulsive disorder to ignore it :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, or switch to ADW ex launcher ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
True but from my readings on what both have to offer, I dont really see a reason to change unless ADW had some really sweet that I had to have (sure the continuous scrolling is cool but not worth the switch for me)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
True true, just giving you another option :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Am I the only one who thought of the kde file browser?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SSaxman:
I'm positive that Gallery is the culprit. I powercycled to kill the Gallery sensor usage and I've been unplugged for 20 hours and am at 72%. The pics below show my battery history without Gallery running and with it running. Huge difference.

Before

After
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
So when you uninstall the gallery, everything works well?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
fixed the permissions 2x and wipe data 3x and now im not having any force close

but now my app drawer only has a page and 4 more apps in it when before it was almost 4pages

im going to do a fresh install hopefully everything goes back to normal
[Epic 4G Android Development] baconnbitz2010:
Quick question: I noticed this screenshot and some other back in the post that showed "UnderVolting". I have SetCPU running at On Demand with 100 to 1200 and I have a profile of 100 to 400 Conservative when the screen is off as one user recommended. What I'd like to know is: Is there a separate app or zip that someone has to let them manually undervolt or is that something that is intrinsically already part of the SetCPU mechanics and happens automatically when you use different scalings in SetCPU???

Thanks all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SSaxman:
Yes sir, or if I reboot and don't open Gallery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You wiped data; all your apps are gone....

UV control is coming in the next update :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, then I'd recommend uninstalling the gallery and using the 3rd party one in the market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sprintguy1376:
This ROM... is pure MAGIC. I don't know what ACS did to it to make it so amazing... but I actually believe in Unicorns because this really is nothing short of witchcraft...

I mean WOW. 2 days of battery life with moderate use!? I wouldn't have ever DREAMED of this! It's so fast.. so snappy!!!

The only problem I had was Youtube FCed but a simple search told me to fix permissions on CWM and BAM.. it works.. AMAZINGLY.

I remember getting frustrated that the battery didn't die fast enough when I tried to calibrate the battery... Then I realized how amazing that really is.

Just.... Thank you... Wow.. Thank You.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you like it, and thanks for your support! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
Right i understand but i first flashed the rom it came with more apps preinstalled than i have right now all the other ones i downloaded from the market
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
The one's you downloaded from the market are gone, as I just said. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SSaxman:
I could do that, but I should be able to use the stock gallery without issue. I guess I will try a clean install over the weekend and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, if you want to use stock I'd recommend that, ODIN and start from scratch even ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
Yeah but also some that were pre installed with the rom but reflashing right now
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Okay, So I have yet to have ANY luck with this ROM. I am very very sorry if this has been answered before, but I have read what I could.. What I have done so far... Flashed ROM coming from CM7Alpha4, Wiped 3x (everything). Booted up fine 5 minutes within trying to restore my apps freeze... So I did what is told if freezing occurs.. Flashed Vision Kernel 1.1.. I am continuing to get freeze (and stuck on ACS boot logo) I have also fixed permissions and flashed. I really would love to get this ROM working and haven't been able to since it was released. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
So the only issue is it's freezing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Yes as of now. I remember when I tried before (when first released) I had force closes everywhere, but I seen that fix permissions should fix it. Haven't even had the chance to get force closes because of the freeze & stuck on ACS boot

EDIT: I am going to try fully loaded because I had less troubles with it before, maybe it will work better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Flash this kernel, often fixes freezes :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
Thank's I will try that! I flashed Vision Kernel and Twilight 1.1.0 never tried 1.0.4 hopefully this will work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It should, works for most users :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
OFFTOPIC: But hey impaler i tried sending a PM to thomasskull666 & not sure there getting through to him because in sent messages they dont pop up. XDA must have issues because it started to happen 2 days ago. The message says its sent but then cant find it my inbox for sent messages
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Interesting, what was your question?
[Epic 4G Android Development] fishfuzz:
You tell me how to get the log out, and I'll forward it anywhere you like.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
There is a "stock apps" apk on the first page somewhere.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fishfuzz:
LOL - I thought the same thing this evening! Although my MAPS Credit Union doesn't have any issues either. Perhaps it's the implementation using the browser?
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Looks like I may be having GPS issues as well. Looking in GPStest, it gets a lock on like 8 satellites and then they all just drop, and this repeats for a while until I can't get a lock on any of them. Never had this issue on stock EB13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darrinbc:
Have you guys with GPS issues updated your profile and PRL? If not, try that and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boominz28:
does anyone know what app samsung uses for their file explorer
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Yep, did that earlier today. GPS is basically non functional for me right now. Rebooted the phone and now getting 0 satellites in view. Very weird since EB13 was beyond fantastic for me with instant locks and never a dropped signal. What was changed in this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] darrinbc:
I don't think the profile and PRL updates will help it anyway, it's just something that I always do as a 'just in case'

Have you downloaded GPS Status from market and reset the a-gps data? That's another 'just in case'
[Epic 4G Android Development] nickf914:
frozen...

scratch that...used clockwork to reboot system
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
How long have you been at the screen?

It took ~6 minutes on my first boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
That happened to me twice, I had to wipe and reflash and it just started working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Any plans for this rom to do a data backup and restore durning the install proccess such as bonsai does?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Something similar will be in 1.0.1.

Folks, your questions will be answered - I am busy working on the SSL fix right now.

Rageagainstthecage inside CWM3 mirror?

Can someone explain why Microsoft Security Essentials is detecting the CWM3 mirror found in the original post found at http://k0nane.info/rom/cwm3.zip to contain the rageagainstthecage.bin? The full system alert is posted below but having heard that this exploit is making the rounds I've become highly suspect that something fishy is going on.

What popped up on my computer after downloading cmw3.zip

Category: Exploit

*Edit* Ahh, my mistake, apparently the rageagainstthecage exploit is the one used BY the one-click-mod to root the phone (duh in retrospect). Not the malware that everybody's worried about. Please ignore the above then (though I guess it should be noted in the CWM3 thread that this might be an issue for unknowledgable downloaders like me).
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
That is the exploit used to root the Epic. Its been used since day 1. So the computer is right, it is an exploit, but it wont do anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin is the exploit needed to gain root on your phone. Without this you can not install CWM or do many of the things we do on XDA. This is not a malicious use of the exploit. It only works on specific variants of linux (e.g. Android) that run on a specific architecture so this is not something that could affect a windows machine in case you were worried about your home pc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] remlle:
After enableing WIfi Tethering My device began a reboot. then once it rebooted Im getting nothing but force closes. Launcher pro keeps foce closing any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
just another quick question, is there anyway to get the Sprint Navigation apk? I use that sometimes when Google Nav is being a *****.
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowmanwithahat:
It is true that it is the exploit used by the batch of apps that were banned from the market recently.

Likely the reason why Windows Defender picked it up... It probably got a definition uploaded because of the recent market and malicious software issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lycwolf:
Same type of problem I've been having. I uninstalled after reflashing and installed the Version 2 of the WiFi tether ap. No infrastructure mode for me now, but that's a V3 option.

This ap, actually, the Sprint Hotspot ap is to blame and is completely broken and makes the phone do a complete software reset and corrupts the internal storage until you reflash.

Ugh... idk...
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Just to basically see how far along hes on the progress of the kernel we were talking into this started to happen he said on tuesday of this week (4/5/11).

He said that 1.48Ghz was still in the works but i asked him if he could do 1.5Ghz. he said "1.48ghz is still in the works, 1.5ghz is just too much voltage. I'm not going to put out something that could potentially ruin someone's phone."

So i tried to reply 2 times saying okay well seeing how its only a measly 200Mhz more if he could try to see if it could work and asking as well if you were to UV it at the voltage as 1.4Ghz so it could run. But apparently messages haven't gone through. So thats all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
If he says it's not going to happen, it's not going to happen, and with good reason ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
No i get that i was just going to ask him and wonder if you could Under-volt it so it would work. Thats all if he doesn't he doesn't i cant make him lol i don't have the power no skills to do myself haha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, if you undeverolt, it won't even have enough power to run
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Ahh so then how is it we undervolt the cpu then?

Like on genocide how there Undervolting:

200MHz-175mv less than stock

1000MHz-75mv less than stock

etc.......

So basically what im getting at is how is it you cant UV 1.5Ghz but we UV 1.4GHz?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Stock 1ghz can run on a lower frequency then the default, as we overclock the CPU it requires significantly more voltage to run stable, at least as far as my understanding goes.

Texted while driving
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct you are XOBX :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Ok that makes sense but what im saying is okay @ 1.4Ghz its 1.375mv

but people have been able to UV it down to 1.300mv - 1.350mv and be stable

so lets just say 1.5Ghz is 1.425mv, why couldn't you just UV it to 1.375 or even 1.400mv. Yes it may cause more heat than normally but if it were to be at 1.375 wouldn't it be same amount of energy as if it were running 1.4Ghz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You're missing the point; the phone can't run at 1.5 UVed. There's not enough power.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Ok whatever i guess it makes sense but at the same time it doesnt.

Could you think the phone could run normally no UV @ 1.5Ghz i mean some phones wont but do you think there is a possibility it could run. I mean @ 1.4Ghz it runs fine. so what would 100 more Mhz do differently. Shoot 1.48Ghz is close enough to stable as Thomasskull666 had mentioned.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
But the voltage is so high to run 1.5 that it could kill some phones.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Do you mean literally fry the sucker?

But how much higher is the actual voltage compared to 1.4Ghz? or even 1.48Ghz because thats real close to 1.5Ghz so how is it really not stable as soon as you hit .2 more Ghz?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, fried ;) You'll notice that tom (the vision kernel dev) had to get a new phone because he bricked one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Yes, going over 1.4v will literally fry the phone. The voltage regulators will overheat and fail. Even if the VRMs are fine, the chip itself will fail eventually. It should last for a few months, but its total lifespan will be a small fraction of what it is at 1.3v.

It just isn't worth it to increase the voltage that much. Too dangerous, and it kills your battery anyway, all for a non-noticeable performance boost.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
I had a hard time reading that lol

If anyone ever gets a working 1.5GHZ, why not just run 1.6GHz, its only 100MHz more, and we can try and undervolt 1.6GHz to the 1.5GHz voltage?

/sarcasm

In all seriousness it would never end. If he says he can't do it, he can't do it. The phone comes stock at 1GHz, we're already pushing cpu to its limits.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Yeah i get that but it sucks when theres phones like the Evo Shift stock@800Mhz and can OC 200% than stock frequency where our are only 40%
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Is your phone running slow @ 1.4GHz?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You are still not really understanding. That is a different phone, with a different (and weaker) processor. Even at their alleged 2,000% increase, it is not as fast as the Epic. And even if it were 2,000,000x faster, there's nothing we could do about it. You may want to read up about CPUs some more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
No it runs fine there a few times where my phone will be at 1Ghz and i wake it up and is laggy beyond hell and have to struggle to get it on SetCPU just to OClock so it will run fine once its OCed i lower back to 1Ghz and its fine.

Dont understand how it really isnt faster as you say, isn't it the same as this scenario:

intel chip 2.8Ghz quad core vs AMD 1100t 3.3Ghz Six Core

But intel chip is Overclocked to 4.2Ghz, who is faster in performance now? intel or amd.

But i kinda get what your saying though
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
They are completely different. As I said, I'd read up on the processors in our phones some more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
Also the shifts are highly unstable at anything over 1.4Ghz, clock for clock second gen slapdragon has us beat by a small margin, its second gen duh. If they get my epic stable at 1.4Ghz, I'll be thrilled, hell I already am at 1.2 and 1.3.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Some just wont be happy till there phones do fry. Hell if someone wants to run at 1.6 let them let them screw up their phone e. My phone runs great on 1.2 and 1.3. I honesty can't even see a speed Increase in just using the phone. Only difference I see is just doing benchmarks

Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
That's a known issue. Put setcpu on ondemand instead of conservative...I think it's been posted a lot in the thread.

If it runs fine, why cry about 1.5ghz when it's already fast as hell.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
The Evo Shift CPU is actually better than the one in the Epic. At those clock speeds, it is vastly superior to ours.

Snapdragon chips have always been designed to run at very high clock speeds. That's why the HTC HD2 and Evo can run at 1GHz whereas the Palm Pre, iPhone 3GS, Nokia N900, Motrola Droid, etc. could only run at 600MHZ stock.

That said, I could run the Palm Pre at 1.2GHz. That super impressive considering the Epic can only hit 1.3GHz, despite being an entire generation newer. The Evo shift is the same generation as the Epic (45nm), and it shows the real clock speeds phones should be at now. It is the same with the other Qualcomm chips running dual core at 1.5GHz while Apple and Samsung are running at 1GHz and below.

The reason that the Qualcomm snapdragons suck though is because their GPUs aren't as good as the ones in Samsung chips.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
And the GPU is so bad in them that I'd hesitate to say that they're better. Quite the opposite.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
The 2nd Gen Snapdragon's kill the Hummingbird in some tasks, just like the Hummingbird kills the Snapdragon in some. For most uses there will be a negligible difference.

But once you get into GPU intensive tasks the hummingbird will always win, no matter how much you overclock the Snapdragon because the GPU is left at stock speed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, personal preference I suppose :p :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Well I'm not saying I want to fry I just want to know the actual peak of the phone. Kind of like you have a 600hp car, don't you want to know the potential of it? And not just drive it normally. I like the phone I do see the difference b/w 1 and 1.4Ghz. On stock ihit app drawer it loads and when on 1.4 its very much smoother and faster at it like 30fps vs 60fps there's a difference.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well you can always pull the source for the kernel, which is on github, and enable 1.5 yourself to see.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
That's the only difference? The app drawer is preset to a speed in your settings btw. The only difference you would be able to notice is laggyness/fps while opening and closing. To be honest it even opens smooth as butter using 800MHz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
That's not all that was just an example there more. But when I play apps and all that. Look it would be nice to have a phone where it will never go slow like that if a phone could run consistently fast if it were To never go slower than a certain FPS and always be smooth no laggs etc....
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Then develop a kernel to do that. End of discussion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
I'm sorry but I have to ask, how old are you? lol

This phone with custom roms/kernels does NOT leave me wanting for more in terms of speed (and I run at 1GHz, lol). What you want will never happen to be honest. You're in for a lifetime of disappointments lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I wish I could I mean it would be nice plus I would be a great help to others as well as new ideas. I've tried to learn trust me I just don't get it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Nahh if I can't its fine I just move on I'm just curious why. That's all I'm 18 soon enough and I'm not your typical teenager trust me if you had a real conversation and saw me you'd think I'm 20 something. I don't need 1.5Ghz I just think its nice to see how high it can reach
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
Ok.

lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Sounds like you want an iphone5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
i'm journalled also. i had to flash the 1.0.4 twilight zone kernal b/c the tz 1.1 and vision 1.1 both totally drained my battery. now, i can get less than 3% drain per hour on idle. however, you'll still be hard pressed to find any rom *that will let you run the display* for over 2.5 hours on a full charge.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Most definetly not! I will never touch AT&T's Network nor a damn iphone. Apple is good but the ipad and the iphone were their worst creations.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dyehya:
There are other posts on XDA regarding Gallery sensor usage. It seems the solution they recommend is to remove the stock gallery and download 3d gallery from the market and that resolves the issue.
